High Resolution, Life Like Rendering

Four aspherical elements, including two high-precision AA (advanced aspherical) elements, effectively reduce distortion and maintain high resolution through the image. ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements minimize chromatic aberration. Sonys original Nano AR Coating suppresses flare and ghosting, while a circular aperture and carefully controlled spherical aberration work together to provide an ideal balance of sharpness and beautifully
soft background bokeh.

One lens for mobile, versatile shooting

Excellent optical performance and a high zoom ratio packed into a strikingly compact, lightweight 663 g (23.4 oz.) lens let you shoot a wide range of subjects and situations with no extra items to carry. Minimum focus distance of just 0.38 meters (0.31x max. magnification) further enhances all-around versatility. Built-in optical image stabilization makes it easier to capture sharp, blurfree images when shooting handheld.

Fast, precise, quiet AF and constant F4 for stills and movies

Autofocus powered by Sonys DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) system offers fast, precise operation that is remarkably quiet. Add constant F4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, and you have a zoom lens that is ideal for shooting movies as well as stills.
